COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT TAXES.
Treasurers May Withhold from County Or
ders Amounts Due as Taxes.

An opinion from the Attorney general was
given yesterday relative to collecting delinquent
taxes which has an important local bearing 1t
has been customary for tie county treasurer,
when a county order was presented to him for
payment by one whom he had on his delinquent
tax list, to withhold the amount of such taxes. A
great deal OF grumbling followed, with threats
to contest the right which the treasurer exer-
csed in this way, but no one thought it advisa-
BILE to bring suit. The sums withheld were gen.
orally small, but some of them amounted to $50
or more. Most OF the countvs debtors who had
their orders subjected to the payment of tax
were employees in the various offices. and when
the delinquency Was considerable it usually ex-
hausted the amount of the order In such cases
the delinquent, if ne did not become too frac-
tious, would arrange to pay his back tax IN IN
stallments But it seems tho tax delinduents IN
other counties have been subjected TO the Same
method of collection whenever they asked the
treasurer to cash orders given them by county
officers.
One of the county treasurers recently inquired
of the Treasurer of the State if he could with
hold the amount of back tax III paying county
order. The question was referred to Attorney
general Kitchener, who is of the opinion that
while there is no direct authority for such
action. it is, nevertheless. authorized by the
general laws relating to the duties of county
treasurers They are, he says. charged with
turned over to them. An affirmative duty,
therefore, devolves upor the treasurers to make
every possible effort Co collect all delinquent
taxes. When they become delinquent the treas
urers prepare lists Of delinquences, which
have the force and effect of execu-
tons. as the law provides that such
taxes can be collected by selling
the property taxed. Therefore, if delinquent
seeks to draw money from a county the treasur-
er is armed with all executive authority to col
lect the delinquency from the property OF the
debtor. 1t is clear. the Attorney general thinks,
that the treasurer has much right to apply
the amount of a county order in settling a tax
delinquency the sheriff has, after satisfying a
senior execution with money in his hands, in
using the balance to satisfy junior execution.
1t is his opinion that a treasurer is not a mere
custodian of the county funds. The money is
his. and the only obligation required OF him Is
to account for it. One Of the means for such
accounting lies in the warrants drawn on him
by the county auditor. He is liable for any
failure to collect the taxes. and he would be
guilty of gross neglect of duty if he did not col
lect them, deliDquencies as well as all other
taxes. County orders not commercial paper
and the persons to whom they are issued accept
them with all the infirmities they may bear at
the time they were drawn.

Is Ir So ?-If taxes are to be re-
duced or abolished, argues Maine
paper, why not make the reduction
or abolition on the necessities of
life !? Why not make clothing and
food and house rent and house
building and house furnishing
cheaper, instead of reducing the
cost of glass of whisky or a pipe
of tobacco /? Those who use dis
titled liquors discreetly do not
grumble at the Government tax.
Those who use them with indiscre-
ton should have no sympathy when
they complain of the cost. Those
who use tobacco wisely are not given
to quarreling at the price they pay
for their delightful indulgence.
Those who use it unwisely or ex-
travagantly are ready to pay their
cost, and do not demur at the mod
crate impost placed by Government
upon excessive consumption of the
world-loyed weed. Should that tax
be taken off other taxes would ne.
cessarily be retained or increased.
The result would be this The
price of beer would go down, the
price of bedding would come up;
the price of rum would go down,
rents would come up; whisky would
go down, woolens would come up;
cigars woald go down, carpets and
crockery would come up. Abste-
mious, working and frugal
people would have to pay more
taxes on the clothes they wear, the
houses they build, the industries
they are engaged in, while the glass
and the pipe would go free.

seIrIaterest-.ts Effect illustrated


Mr.. EDITOR 1T is wonderful
what effect self interest has upon
the minds of some men; TO what
lengths it will carry them; in what
false, inconsistent and ridiculous
positions its devotees place them
selves Principle seems to be an
unknown quality to such people,
and facts are things unreal. This
bit of philosophy is specially appli
cable just now to the editors of the
"Maryland Republican. J" Ever
since their advent into journalism
upon the Western Shore, these edi-
tors have striven without cessation
to gobble up every particle ofpublic
printing, State, County, and City.
They have thus far succeeded in get
ting all the State printing which
has been done in Annapolis, with
the exception of the Court of APP
peals work. They have received a
part of the City printing. For the
years 1886 and 1887 they received
100000 for county printing, Dur
ing this time they have talked most
sweetly of harmony; have repeatedly
declared their intention of taking
no part in what they were pleased
to call fractional fights" in the
Democratic party; have time and
again endeavored to impress DR..
Wells and his friends that they
were "not unfriendly," to them,
that they were friendly" Sud-
denly all this sweet and gentle talk
has changed, and the most fierce
and savage assaults are made upon
Dir. Wells and the democracy of
Anne Arundel in the name of Flu
sionists and Boilers, whom the Re-
publican has chosensas its associates
and whom it has christened 'tDem-
ocrats.
Why this change in the attitude
of the editors of the Republican p
The answer is simple. The editors
of the Republican wanted the county
printing-wanted it badly. They
did get it, and determined not to
fail in their getting" they got
mad. Hence their bad temper.
A few words in regard to the
course of these editors in the
matter of the county printing will
put the public in position to judge
what manner of men they are. The
junior editor, who is now holding the
position of Postoffice Inspector un-
der the Government, reward far
exceeding his usefulness, button
holed every man in the community
who he thought, might have inilu-
ence with the County Commission
ers, among others DR.. Wells. At
his invitation the Doctor met him at
the Republican office. He urged DR..
Wells to support him for the county
printing. The Doctor told him
frankly that he could not; that he had
promised to do what he could for Mrs,
Iglehart, The editor then besought
Doctor Wells to keep his hands off.
To this the Doctor replied in his
characteristic style that he could do
nothing of the kind, that when he
was for man he was. for him to the
best of his ability. Then the editor
tried threats and talked fight; said he
had had same kind of q fight in
Caroline and had won. To which
Doctor Wells retorted bytelling him
to fight if he saw proper and this, we
suppose, is his fight.

For the past seven days the sales at

total of $4,000, probably as great
amount of money as has ever been real
lied in one weeks business in Cheyenne.
This amount represents cold cash and
nothing else. There is comparatively

not so great as it was in the first
few days of the sale, but everyone
who goes there now goes with tie inten-

Perhaps the greatest bargains yet to be
secured are offered in the line of ladies

wonderful so that the most varied tastes

Reese and j. G. Pennington, Of Silver
Crown, Judge Fisher fined the latter $50

violation of the irrigation laws of the
territory. in that he tempered with the

Simmons. The case has been appealed

Cheyenne deplores this unfortunate liH.
CATION. The men who are ~endeavoring
to develop the district have enough diff
culties to surmount without being handi-
capped by vexatious lawsuits.
The fact that SO able a jurist as Judge
Fisher has convicted Pennington of the
preparation of a misdemeanor is prima
faci evidence that Simmons had reason
able cause for complaint in that direction,
but the prosecutor now insists that the
smoke from the smelter and rooster in
jures the health of his wife, who walked
